kristine, i’ve been using hostway for over a year now, and i have absolutely no complaints (knock on wood). i actually found them when i registered one of my domains through dotster.

i’ve heard lots of good things about below10host from eden. and they have customizable packages with up to 300mb for around 10 a month (that’s what i’m going with for disenchanted) - because i’m in the same situation as you - i need more space, but don’t want to be paying $30 or $40 a month - esp. considering i don’t think i need excessive bandwidth or all the extras like 100 pop3s and all that. *sigh*

I use venturesonline.com, I’ve had no problems with them and they have super fast cudstomer support.

CoastlandTech.com offers everything most of us need at $35/year with excellent tech support... you might want to check them out..

Kristine, you might want to email Christina at Verve and explain your needs to her to see if perhaps you can come up witha custom plan.

In fact, that’s probably not a bad idea to do with any of the hosting companies.

You might want to check out the host that I use, 100Megs Webhosting.

The Advanced Plan offers 1000 megs of space and 10 gigs of transfer for $20.00/month. You can make up subdomains, and have real domains point to them for $2.00/month per extra domain. They don’t say this anywhere on the site, but they’ll do it if you ask. I’m running both fenwayfaithful.com and christine-murphy.net on the one account. However, you only get the one c-panel per account. If you go to the site and click on *services*, you can access a sample c-panel.

I’m running MT outside of the cgi-bin, so it can be done.

Hardly any downtime...I can’t remember the last time my site was down! Excellent customer support, both via e-mail and on their forums.

I have been with this company since day one...the owner, Reuben Regier, started out with a free hosting company, but soon decided he’d do better with paid hosting. I was one of the people he asked to help test the new service by moving one of my sites over there.

Go and take a look, poke around the forums...I think you will like what you see!

Eventually I will be switching switching to either hostrocket.com (recommended by brookelyn.com) or dreamhost.com(recommended by ellessu.net), both have some interesting plans. You might want to check’m.

Oh no! Not Dreamhost, ANYTHING but Dreamhost!!

Eh, I guess they’re not that bad. I was with them for two years. Their service is mediocre and very slowly deteriorating and their prices are above average, although they just released new price plans that seem not too bad.

They’re reliable at least. . . But I really do think signing up with them is like stepping back in time a year.

I know this post is ages old, but I have something to add for people who get here via Google, like I did...

I had Always Webhosting for a few months and of all the hosts I have had they were the absolute WORST. The uptime and price were good, but that’s it. Their support was terrible (they’d answer questions with 'suggestions' like "Sorry, but I don’t really don’t know. Check Google!"), and the one guy who runs it is touchy and vindictive. I rated them on some host rating site and I actually gave them a good rating for their price and uptime, but commented that I didn’t appreciate the lack of support. Within FIVE MINUTES all of my domains were disabled and my account was cancelled. They wouldn’t answer my emails so I filed a complaint with the same host rating company, and they actually made up reasons for my cancellation, and lied about giving a refund! I had to call my credit card company to get the money back. The guy who runs this is immature and will disable your site if he gets his feathers ruffled. Very unprofessional and even the good price isn’t worth that kind of abuse. Avoid Always Webhosting at all costs!
